I used this to repair a tear in the rear pocket of my 5.11 Tactical Pro ripstop pants. I applied as directed using adequate overlap/coverage of the tear and rounded the corners of the tape. I used 2 pieces of tape, one on the inside of the pants and one on the outside.
The inside piece is still applied. The outside piece (the one that mattered, to prevent further catching and ripping) came off after 2 wash/dry cycles. Before the first wash/dry the outside piece was peeling, shifting and lifting during normal wear.
The tape did not stick as well as I expected. I'm pretty sure duct tape would have worked better, but I'll sew the tear shortly. I couldn't recommend this for clothing repair, at least not 5.11 Tactical Pro pants (polyester/poly cotton blend).
